Commission highlights ongoing rulemaking and collaboration with national partners to address next-generation threats

HARRISBURG – The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) today joined with federal, state, and industry partners in recognizing October as National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, underscoring the urgent need for strong defenses across all sectors of critical infrastructure and highlighting the Commission’s proactive work to safeguard the systems that power Pennsylvania’s homes and businesses.

“Cybersecurity touches every part of our lives — from the devices we use at home to the systems that deliver electricity, water, natural gas, communications, and transportation across the Commonwealth,” said PUC Vice Chair Kimberly Barrow. “Protecting those systems is about more than technology.
